ASAP Project Staffing Process Staffing Needs Analysis With the exception of a single AGDC employee (Pipeline Project Manager), the ASAP Project is entirely staffed by contractors. Staffing needs are identified by the ASAP Project Management Team (PMT) under the direction and approval of the ASAP Director of Project Management. An initial Gap Analysis of the ASAP Project organization was completed by CH2M Hill in October 2013 in order to identify the staffing and resources required to meet the major milestones of Open Season (Q1 2015) and Project Sanction (Q1 2016). CH2M Hill was selected as the ASAP Project Management Contractor (PMC) in September 2013 through a competitive procurement. The Governance Systems and Business Execution Plan Gap Analysis included a project maturity model (Model) and scorecard to benchmark the ASAP Project’s capacity in late 2013, and compare it to industry standards for comparable mega-projects. The Model was used to analyze the gaps between current status and desired current and near-term state of the project. The outcome of the Gap Analysis was converted into an action plan to focus resources on bringing the governance systems and Business Execution Plan (BEP) to the desired state. Appendix D of the Gap Analysis included the recommended Staffing Profile for the project, which was reviewed by the ASAP Director of Project Management and approved by the AGDC President as the ASAP Organization Chart. The chart provided the baseline staffing needs analysis going forward. Additionally, staffing needs will be analyzed on an ongoing basis by ASAP PMT functional managers and changes will be proposed by the ASAP Director of Project Management for review and approval by the AGDC President. These needs may be generated from the following requirements:
• Specialized technical expertise • Phasing of project activity • Increased need for resources • Change of scope • Staff replacement
It should be noted that the ASAP Organization Chart generally depicts the core imbedded staff supporting the project. These imbedded staff resources generally report through a line ASAP functional manager. Additional project staffing is provided through pipeline, facilities, PMC, and other specialized contractors performing discrete scopes of work under Task Assignments. Job Descriptions/Scope Determinations Job descriptions and scope for ASAP Project staffing is determined differently for 1) baseline imbedded staff, and 2) additional staffing needs that arise during the course of the project.
2
Baseline Imbedded Staff: The Governance Systems and Business Execution Plan Gap Analysis generated the foundational job descriptions and scope for the basic ASAP project organization. As part of the PMC contract, CH2M Hill provides proposed Position Descriptions and staff resumes for imbedded staff as depicted on the ASAP Organization Chart. Normal progression of the project provides for phased implementation of the overall staffing plan. Additional Staffing Needs: When new or changed staffing requirements are identified, ASAP functional managers generate an ASAP Position Description and Job Justification document. These documents are reviewed by the ASAP Director of Project Management and signed when approved. Solicitation Process For baseline imbedded staff covered by the scope of the PMC contract, CH2M Hill provides candidates for consideration. Integral to the PMC contract is the progression of baseline staffing on the project. When new or changed staffing requirements are identified, or the PMC contractor has not responded with acceptable candidates for baseline imbedded staff, ASAP functional managers work with AGDC Human Resources and Contracts to solicit contract candidates for consideration. Approved ASAP Position Description and Job Justification documents are forwarded to AGDC Human Resources and Contracts staff for review. Upon approval, AGDC Contracts submits a solicitation from current AGDC contract holders who have qualifications in the area of the staffing needs. Responses to the solicitation are routed to the ASAP PMT for consideration. Staff Candidate Selection Regardless of the source of a candidate as described above, the ASAP Director of Project Management and responsible functional manager review proposed candidates and conduct interviews. ASAP reserves the right to reject PMC candidates not found acceptable and can choose to solicit other contractors for baseline imbedded staff if desired. Candidates selected for positions are approved by the ASAP Director of Project Management and the responsible functional manager works with AGDC Contracts and the ASAP Contract Steward (in the case of Major Contractor) to issue the appropriate work order under existing Master Service Agreements.

RE: Staffing Plan/Corporate and Project/AGDC/ASAP
DATE: January 28, 2014
HISTORY:
The Alaska Gasline Development Corporation was formed in June, 2010, and included only 7 Position Control Numbers (PCN’s), assigned by the State of Alaska for permanent employment from that date forward.
During that period of time, Alaska Housing Finance Corporation, provided all support and administrative oversight (among which was HR/Payroll, Accounting, Risk Management, Worker’s Compensation, Benefits, and IT services, among others).
The admonition from the State of Alaska was to concentrate on Contract Services for both the technical work and the administrative support functions.
CURRENT STATUS:
On May 21, 2013, Governor Sean Parnell signed into Law HB4, which allowed for a total of 32 PCN’s, which since that time, a total of 19 have been allocated (including the original 7). Subsequently, AGDC has implemented a procedure whereby any new staffing follows a discrete and managed process. The Corporate oversight is complete, all policy and financial decisions flow to a Director level employee and the Vice President or the President.
AGDC Human Resources monitors all “on-boarding” of new staff, and double checks degree verification and background information.
RECRUITING:
AGCD follows normal recruiting and staffing procedures using both public and private practices and legal requirements. To date, there have been no lack of highly qualified applicants for any vacancy within the Corporate organization.
We anticipate no recruiting problems in the future.
PROCESS:
1) A senior manager will recommend a position (either direct employee or contract) be either filled, or created, and will write a job description and a justification for filling the vacancy;
2) This job description and justification is forwarded to Human Resources for review, salary range determination, and to analyze the justification for filling the vacancy;
3) Upon completion of the HR review, the documentation is submitted to the Vice President for final review and approval;
4) Upon approval by the VP, the package is sent back to the hiring Director, and then to Human Resources for recruiting action;
5) A strategy is developed for filling the vacancy, which normally includes newspaper advertising and listing with various employment organizations, both public and private (both print and online); in the case of a contract worker, the job specifications are forwarded to a number of contractors already under an agreement with AGDC, with an invitation to forward resumes for any candidate they wish to be considered by AGDC;
6) Upon completion of the recruiting process, Human Resources will review all applications/resumes to ensure only those who meet the minimum requirements are forwarded to the hiring manager for review;
7) The hiring manager will review the applications/resumes, and then will schedule finalists for interview;
8) Upon completion of the interviews, the hiring manager will identify the selected candidate, conduct reference checks, and then forward the package back to HR;
9) HR then does a thorough background check and degree verification; assuming that nothing negative is identified, then HR and the hiring manager determine a recommended salary offer; which is then submitted to the VP for final review and approval;
10) Should a qualified candidate not be found, then the process will begin again at Step 5).
AGDC intends to use its remaining authorized PCN’s only for cardinal and decision making positions; to the greatest extent possible, we will use contract services for both ASAP and AGDC administrative support functions.
